Douglas Luiz had missed the last four competitive matches due to a muscle problem.

Four Juventus players will miss the upcoming European fixture: the suspended Danilo and the injured Arkadiusz Milik, Gleison Bremer and Nico Gonzalez.

The Argentinean winger trained separately on the pitch on Monday morning, and the Bianconeri hope he’ll recover for the next Serie A game against Torino on Saturday.

According to La Gazzetta dello Sport, Francisco Conceiçao is expected to return to the starting XI against Lille, while Kenan Yildiz and Timothy Weah will compete for a starting spot on the left wing.

Thiago Motta will address the media at a pre-match press conference from Lille’s stadium later today.
